Spyphotos of the BMW i8 completing winter testing - Getting close to production ready

Here is a nice set of sphyphotos of the upcoming BMW i8 courtesy of AutoGuide. This newest set shows the closest to production ready version of the i8 thus far. The rear windows show off the trademark BMW Hofmiester kink and the body work itself looks toned down from the concept. The styling will be of course be futuristic but toned down from the concept but the real question will be if they can match the lofty engineering goals of the concept.

Will it hit the target 3,197 pound curb weight? Will the output be 393 horses (170 electric and 223 gas) and 406 pound-feet of torque? If BMW meets these goals and is able to keep the price from going into the stratosphere, this car will be a hit. Especially with the ability to switch from rear wheel, to front wheel, and all wheel drive on the fly as well as up to 20 miles electric only propulsion.
